How come nobody ever told us that? Questions about liturgy abound for Catholics and non-Catholics, young and old. Saving Signs, Wondrous Words goes beyond explaining the liturgy and allows the liturgy to explain us. In this enjoyable book, 25 of the words, actions, gestures, signs, and symbols used in liturgies are probed in short, informative essays. Topics include the altar, silence, the door, the raising of hands, the communion procession, and more. Use this book as a starting point for group discussion or as an inspiration for lesson plans or journaling. AWARDS:Catholic Press Association 1997 Book Award winner, second place, in liturgy

Liturgy and catechesis should happen together. We've brought together liturgists, catechists, pastoral ministers, and academic experts to address how a parish might pastorally care for families who are bringing their children to the Church for Baptism. These essays discuss pre-education, training for catechists, timing of the rites, and the homily. But it doesn't stop there: mystagogy and follow-up are addressed, too.

This is the first comprehensive book for teaching children how to serve at the altar since the days of memorizing Latin phrases and learning the correct way to hold a paten! Serve God with Gladness: A Manual for Servers is unique because it takes the ever-present ministry of server seriously while addressing the contemporary needs of todays young altar servers.In these pages servers will learn about the different liturgies at which they may be called to serve--Sunday Mass, daily Mass, funerals, weddings, Morning and Evening Prayer, the visit of the Bishop. The author is a veteran server who began serving when he was in the fourth grade. His expertise on church environment is reflected in clear discussions of the church building and of poking around in the nooks and crannies of the sacristy. In true workbook style, many pages have sections to fill in and activities to do. Information and guidelines from the adults who work with servers can be noted in specific areas. Artwork, photographs, and diagrams illustrate actions and movement clearly. Vocabulary words are indicated in bold type and their definitions can be found in the glossary in the back of the book. Quantity pricing makes it possible for you to buy a copy for each server. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.

From clay and glass and metals and precious stones, artists fashion the cups, plates, bowls, thuribles, and other vessels that serve our celebrations of holy mystery. Such vessels are a necessary part of our liturgy. At the same time they are also works of art. Like the bread, wine, incense, and fire that they hold in our assemblies, vessels are that which earth has given and human hands have made. This beautiful book is an informative collection of essays about vessels including history, usage, design, care, and canon law regarding their construction. At the heart of the book are stunning photos of vessels created by four outstanding contemporary U.S. artists, as well as photos of vessels by other artists. Both the essays and photos will help anyone interested in art and liturgy to more fully understand how it is that we hold and carry and share love and life in earthen vessels.AWARDS:Catholic Press Association 2002 Book Award winner, third place, in liturgy.
